Chapel of the Holy Three Kings, Komin
The church complex surrounded by a walled arcade was
built during the 18th century, and during the traditional
feast days was a place of pilgrimage. The monstrance is a
very valuable artefact. On the exterior wall of the chapel
is a small, closed altar with a relief depicting a kneeling
peasant with hands folded in prayer, a dish with money, and
the date 1710 and initials. The peasant in the relief is a man
named Prevarek who had found a bowl with Roman money
while ploughing the fields with his oxen. When the plough
struck something hard, the oxen were frightened and ran
away, and the surprised peasant kneeled on the ground and
made a vow to God, that if nothing happened to his oxen
he would build a chapel. When the event ended happily,
the peasant kept his promise. Church feasts are held in the
chapels on the feast day of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary,
and on the feast of the Holy Three Kings (Epiphany), to
whom the chapel was consecrated.
